Hi Ken, love the detail in the nuthatch. Beauty, eh!? The pose of the chickadee is different for sure. The eye looks focused on my monitor. Not sure I like the pose but, if you do, who cares what I think?? It may grow on me so I won't say anymore! 
Alan
Thank you Alan for taking the time to view and comment. I also appreciate the feedback on the pose.

Nice head shot on the nuthatch Ken. The chickadee's eye looks adequately sharp enough for me. I like the colorful lichen on the branches, kind of adds more color and interest than the more common grey bark and brown twigs looking Bgd. 
Many thanks Herb! I liked that branch too, for the same reasons. There was an enticement to pose just out of the frame, placed to take advantage of the bg. Cheers!

that first one is crazy close. How did you get so close to a bird while walking Ken?
Great job on both
Morris
Thanks Morris. Relative to some of your work, I was probably quite far away at about 3 feet. Someone had placed a lot of bird seed on a railing, and a few species, including squirrels, were stocking up. Sometimes, one of the birds would actually sit still for a bit. Wish I had a longer prime lens with a good f-stop rating that I could put the tube on. The increased distance and speed would make for calmer birds and much faster focusing. Those birds were too twitchy!

Damn if Karl didn't steal my thunder! Actually, I had no thunder to pilfer but his comments are spot on.
I'm sure it was really nice getting out...cabin fever sets in quite quickly.

Yes, a nice walk in the wintry woods was a good tonic. Much better than walking circles in the cabin.

Your thunder may just be gas Eric...  
A very nice set Ken. I do think Karl managed to pull a little more out of them though ~ Ron 
Karl has no problems pulling a little extra out of (no, not related to the comments about Eric's gas) my photos. Thanks for stopping in and commenting Ron!
